Why is the aging process so inevitable and harsh? Does anything work at making it easier?

Question

I'm only 26, yet in the last short 4-5 years I went from college "kid" to "sir," and I'm pretty wealthy and have tried everytihng from losing weight, exercizing, highlighting/dying my hair, I even got plastic surgery, nose job/chin implant, and i'm going in to get my cheeks and under eyelids done, and that's not to mention all the nice designer clothing and cosmetics I use, and yet,

I still look my age, if not older, and there's like nothing I can do to make it stop.

When people call you "sir," and you're only in your early to mid 20s, is that a respect thing, or is it because you look like someone's dad, and you're now old?

Can you still be my age, look older, get called sir, and go out have fun, and club, and go shopping, or will people look at you weird?

I honestly never expected to be so "over" so soon, but I literally feel it. It sucks.

I'm healthy, eat right etc, and nothing seems to be working.

Is aging just inevitable, and should i throw in the towel?

Even for a guy I know that there are certain makeups, cosmetics, hair styles that can make you "appear" younger, but everytime I see these old geezers I think oh f*ck, I'm going to end up like that, and every year it seems to be closer and closer to that, and I'm just starting to serously fear it.

I can't accept it! I feel like I went from high school to middle aged overnight.


And yet some 40 year olds like Jamie Foxx look 16 again.

Is it all genetics?

What can I do?

NOTHING IS WORKING>

I'm going crazy.

HGH shot maybe? lol.

Just a few years ago I used to wear Abercrombie & Fitch outfits and look damn good in them, now, I look like an idiot.

Ugh. someone help

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.


I guess I could just act and dress my age, and how old i LOOK, but still.

I'm really deperssed right now.

I know it's silly but I am.

Some people go on American Idol my age and look like kids, and I'm bordering on Taylor Hicks image. :-(

Answer 1

I am 26 as well. Most ppl guess I am between 24-27. I think you have to keep yourself feeling young. Dress it, stay interesting---you are only as old as you feel. OMG plastic surgery? You are going too far! You are focusing so much and age, you are missing your youth! We are still young! BTW I get called Mam all the time, it sucks but I used to call everyone ma'am and sir all the time-and still do! You have got to relax. Stop putting your body through surgery. Eat healthy, exercise and most importantly HAVE FUN! You will look young to everyone if you are a fun happy person. I think you need to talk to someone, it sounds like you are having a quarter life crisis. Good luck, I hope you start living soon!

Answer 2

What the? What the **** are you doing getting plastice surgery?

Ageing is beautiful. Just let it take its course.

Do you want to look like Micheal Jackson?

Do you want too look like Jackie Stallons mom?

People call you sir because you are a MAN. Not because you look old!

Go to the club, have fun, get girls, enjoy yourself.

Looks aren't everything you know!

Stop concentrating on looks.

What wrong with looking your age? 26 isn't even old?

I think you need to go back to college and take Citizenship.

You know NOTHING about the real world.

Everything is handed to you on a silver platter.

Quit the stupid plastic surgery and think about all the money your wasting on it.

There are peple with tumors on there face. Horrible burns. and life changing dieseases!

I'm 13 and I know more common sense than you.

Answer 3

you sound like you may have some underlying issues. as far as being called "sir" it may have to do with your job or an authority position. or the part of the country you live in. where i live people call every adult older than them "sir" or "mam". sometimes people who do so much to keep themselves from aging end up making themselves age more.

stay out of the sun.
drink plenty of water
don't drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes
try putting strivectin sd on your face, it's a stretch mark cream but many people get good results by putting it on their faces.
don't stress!! stress causes major aging so do something relaxing.

Answer 4

90 percent of visible signs of aging are preventable, and they stem from sun exposure, stress, poor nutrition, smoking, drinking, using harsh products, ect.

I recommend making sure you have time to relax, stay out of the sun, eat properly, and use a good skin care line for anti-aging. I recommend the NutrimenC line from Arbonne, definitely- It is natural and free of abrasive toxins. Good luck!

Answer 5

excuse me, sir...you need some counseling to overcome your YOU obsession. YOU obviously enjoy YOU, talking with YOU, spending time with YOU and spending money on YOU. my suggestion....look in the mirror and find the real YOU.

Answer 6

quit being so vain.
